NOMATEN Core – Prof. Łukasz Kurpaska

Prof. Kurpaska received a strategic investment grant funded via the National Recovery and Resilience Plan

Budget of the project: 97 516 697,24 PLN

Title of the project: NOMATEN CoRE 

Abstract: The primary goal of the NOMATEN CoRE project is to support the growth of the NOMATEN Center of Excellence (NOMATEN Center) by acquiring a critical amount of high-end equipment devoted to modeling, fabrication, and testing of materials exposed to extreme operating conditions. These materials will be used in several different sectors, such as heavy industry, medical, and energy.

Research conducted at the NOMATEN Center covers the full spectrum of actions – from theoretical description and modeling of materials, through their design, fabrication, and functional property testing, terminating in building and testing real components and solutions. Common characteristics necessary to properly address material-design challenges include knowledge of their behavior under high temperatures, corrosion and stress, as well as radiolysis resulting from use in high-activity environments, which is especially important for radiopharmaceuticals (both therapeutic and diagnostic applications). To address these challenges four different laboratories will be build, commissioned and operated for at least fifteen year: 

  • Structural Analysis Laboratory
  • Functional Analysis Laboratory
  • Data Analysis and Computer Simulation Laboratory;
  • Preclinical Research Laboratory;


This project has received funding from the European Union Horizon 2020 research and innovation
programme under grant agreement No 857470 and from European Regional Development Fund
via Foundation for Polish Science International Research Agenda PLUS programme grant
No MAB PLUS/2018/8.
Poland
The project is co-financed from the state budget within the framework of the undertaking of the Minister of Science and Higher Education "Support for the activities of Centers of Excellence established under Horizon 2020".

Grant: 5 143 237,70 EUR
Total value: 29 971 365,00 EUR
Date of signing the funding agreement: December 2023

The purpose of the undertaking is to support entities of the higher education and science system that have received funding from the European Union budget in the competition H2020-WIDESPREAD-2018-2020/WIDESPREAD-01-2018-2019: Teaming Phase 2. in the preparation, implementation and updating of activities, maintenance of material resources necessary for carrying out activities, acquisition and modernization of scientific and research apparatus, maintenance and development of personnel potential necessary for the implementation of activities, and dissemination of the results of scientific activities.
